B E     I just made something unexBpected
G#msomething sharp, Bsomething new…
E     It’s not symmetrical or Bperfect
but it’s beautiful G#m and it’s mine. Em
What else can I Bdo?
(Bring it in, bring it in) F#
(Good talk, bring it in, bring it in)
What else can I G#m do?
(Let’s walk, bring it in, bring it in
Free hugs, F# bring it in, bring it in)
BI grow rows and F#rows of roses,
G#m flor de mayo, F# by the mile.
BI make perfect, F#practiced poses.
G#m So much hides beF#hind my smile.
GWhat could I do if I just Agrew
what I was feelin’ in the Bmoment?
(Do you Bmaj7know where you’re going?)
GWhat could I do if I just Aknew
it didn’t need to be peF#rfect?
It just needed to be? B
And they’d let me be?
E     A hurricane of jacaBrandas,
G#mstrangling figs (big),
Bhanging vines. (this is fine) E
Palma de cera fills the Bair as I G#mclimb
and G#m7I push through,Em
what F#else can I Ado?
Can I deliver us a river of sunBdew?
Careful, it’s carF#nivorous,
a little just won’t Ado.
I wanna feel the shiver of something F#new.
I’m so sick of pretty, I want something true,
don’t G#myou?
You just seem like your D#mlife’s been a dream
since the Emoment you opened your Beyes.
(How far do these Bmaj7roots go G#mdown?)
All I know are the D#mblossoms you grow
but it’s aEwesome to see how you F#rise
(How far can I rise?)
through the roof, to the skies,
let’s go!
F     A hurricane of jacaCrandas,
Amstrangling figs (go),
Changing vines. (grow) F
Palma de cera fills the Cair as I Amclimb
and I push G#mthrough.
What Gelse, what else?
G#What can you do when you are
A#deeply, madly, truly in the Cmoment?
(Seize the Gmoment, keep goin’) Ab
What can you do when you know
Bbwho you wanna be is impeGrfect?
But I’ll still be oCkay
(Hey, everybody clear the way)
F     I’m comin’ through with tabeCbuia
(she’s comin’ through with that boo-yeah)
AmMaking waves (making waves),
Cchanging minds (you’ve changed mine). F
The way is clearer ’cause you’re Chere
and well, I Amowe this all to G#you
What Gelse can I Amdo?
(Show ’em what you can do) F
What else can I Cdo?
(There’s nothing you can’t do) F
What Celse can GI Cdo?
